PREFACE. 


The  fact  that  there  is  quite  a  demand  fofr  a  prac- 
tical book  of  the  Polish  language,  has  induced  the 
author  to  prepare  the  present  volume.  There  are 
some  three  million  Poles  in  the  United  States.  They 
may  be  found  in  all  walks  of  life.  Many  of  them 
speak  English,  but  a  great  number  do  not.  Per- 
sons dealing  with  the  latter  experience  difficulty  in 
making  themselves  understood.  The  design  of  the 
present  volume  is  to  furnish  for  the  use  of  English- 
speaking  people  a  handy  means  for  putting  them- 
selves in  communication  with  their  Polish  fellow- 
citizens*  With  the  help  of  this  manual  the  author 
hope?  it  will  be  possible  to  issue  necessary  instruc- 
tions to  workmen,  servants,  etc.,  to  carry  on  buy- 
ing and  selling  transactions,  and  also  to  carry  on 
simple  conversations  on  such  matters  as  health, 
time,  weather,  war,  etc. 

The  bo'ok  is  divided  into  five  parts.  The  first 
part  deals  with  the  alphabet  and  the  rules  for  ac- 
cent. The  attempt  has  been  made  to  represent  each 
sound  as  truly  and  phonetically  as  possible  in  En- 
glish .  All  use  of  diacritical  marks  has  been  avoided 
for  the  sake  of  simplicity.  The  greatest  difficulty 
will  be  experienced  in  establishing  the  correct  pro- 
nunciation of  the  nasal  vowels  a,  §,  the  consonants 
ii,  1,  r,  z,  and  the  compound  consonants  cz,  dz,  dz,  sz, 
rz;,  and  szcz.  This  difficulty  may  be  somewhat  over- 
come by  asking  a  native  Pole  to  produce  the  sounds 
slowly  and  then  carefully  imitating  him.

The  secodid  part  deals  with  the  so-called  Fluency 
Exercises.  The  scheme  is  explained  in  detail  in  the 
introduction  to  the  series .  The  author  believes  that 
a  complete  and  thorough  mastery  of  this  section  will 
help  the  learner  to  establish  a  correct  pronuncia- 
tion and  accent  of  Polish  words,  and  at  the  same 
time  acquaint  him  with  some  of  the  grammar  in  a 
practical  way. 

Grammar  is  the  subject  of  the  next  division. 
Here  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  give  an  exhaust- 
ive treatise  on  Polish  grammar,  but  rather  some 
condensed  information  about  the  principal  points  of 
it.  This  part  may  be  well  used  in  conjunction  with 
the  Fluency  Exercises. 

Perhaps  the  most  useful  section  of  the  manual 
may  be  found  in  the  fourth  part.  A  glance  at  the 
table  of  contents  will  shcftv  the  number  of  practical 
phrases  and  conversations  which  have  been  em- 
bodied here.  Care  has  been  exercised  to  include 
nothing  but  practical  subjects.  The  language  used 
is  the  language  of  everyday  life.  It  is  true  that  all 
the  possible  subjects  were  not  included, — the  limits 
of  the  book  did  not  permit  of  that, — yet  there  will 
be  found  here  entfugh  material  to  meet  all  ordinary 
occasions . 

The  vocabulary  at  the  end  of  the  book  contains 
a  comprehensive  list  of  words  in  daily  use.

Rules  for  the  Accent. 

I.  In  words  of  more  than  one  syllable  the  stress 
almost  always  falls  upon    the  syllable    before    the 
last, — the  penult;  as,  wo'da,  pis'mo,  wyli'cz^ac. 

II.  The  accent  falls  upon  the  antepenult,  or  the 
third  syllable  from  the  end,  of  most  words  borrowed 
from  other  languages  and  naturalized;  as,  arytme'- 
tyka,  mu'zyka. 

III.  In  words  combined  with  and  enclitic — a  word 
which  loses  its  own  accent  and  is  pronounced  as  if 
it  were  a  part  of  the  preceding  word — the  accent 
falls  upoli  the  third  syllabi^  from  the  end ;  as,  ro'bil- 
bym,  robi'lismy.    This  rule  need  not  be  observed 
too  strictly. 

IV.  When  the  enclitic  has  two  syllables,  the  ac- 
cent falls  upon  the  fourth  syllable  from  the  end; 
as,  jsze'libysmy,  powiedzie'libyscie . 

V.  The  last  component  part  of  a  compound  ward 


—  12  — 


usually   receives  the  accent;   as,   Bialystok',   p§dzi- 
wiatr'.

PART  II. 
Fluency  Exercises. 

The  Fluency  Exercises  are  employed  here  co 
develop  the  power  of  using  the  idomatic  forms  of 
the  language  as  fluently  and  promptly  as  those  of 
the  mother-tongue. 

This  scheme  requires  that  long  idiomatic  s^en- 
tences  shall  be  divided  into  very  short  sections,  and 
shall  be  accompanied  by  their  Variations  in  both 
languages .  The  beginner  is  to  commit  the  sentences 
and  their  variations  very  thoroughly  to  memory. 

The  foreign  variations  exhibit  the  constructions 
which  are  lying  latent  in  each  sentence. 

The  English  variations  are  designed  to  convey 
the  exact  power  of  each  of  the  foreign  variations, 
and  to  show  the  different  senses  in  which  the  in- 
dividual foreign  words  and  combinations  can  be  em- 
ployed . 

The  variations  of  each  lesson  are  to  be  mastered 
before  a  new  one  is  undertaken.  The  slightest  hes- 
itation in  the  use  of  a  wrord  in  any  of  the  variations, 
absolutely  disqualifies  the  learner  from  advancing 
to  a  new  lesson. 

Every  sentence,  with  its  variations,  will  be  found 
to  exemplify  some  of  the  rules  of  syntax,  and  to 
contain  many  inflections;  and  it  will  not  require  a 
great  number  of  sentences  to  incorporate  them  all 

Method  of  Procedure. 

1st  Lesson: — The  learner  should  begin  by  utter- 
ing the  last  two  words  in  Section  L,  then  the  last 
three,  and  so  on.  When  he  can  utter  the  whole  com- 


—  15  — 

bination  he  should  repeat  it  loudly  and  in  rapid 
succession  for  a  short  while.  Then  he  should  read 
the  literal  translation  and  all  the  Polish  variations 
of  the  first  section. 

2nd  Lesson: — Section  I.  and  all  its  variations 
should  to  be  read  in  irregular  succession  a  number 
of  times.  Then  the  pupil  should  alternately  read 
the  Polish  and  translate  the  English  variations  one 
by  one.  He  should  also  point  out,  on  the  English 
page,  each  variation  as  he  utters  it.  During  this 
exercise,  he  is  not  to  read  each  English  variation 
aloud  before  he  translates  it. 

3rd  Lesson: — The  learner  should  repeat  the 
above  exercise  until  he  can  translate  the  variations 
into  Polish  as  rapidly  as  he  can  read  them  in  En- 
glish. If  he  can  translate  them  all  without  hesita- 
tion, or  error  of  any  kind,  he  may  commence  an- 
other section. 

The  same  method  should  be  used  in  learning 
each  new  section.

GRAMMAR. 


THE  NOUN. 

1.  There  are  three  Genders  in  the  Polish  language,  the 
masculine,  the  feminine,  and  the  neuter. 

2.  Nouns  before  which  the  word  "ten"  can  be  used,  are 
of  the  masculine  gender;  as,  ten  ojciec — the  father,  ten  kwiat 
— the  flower,  ten  koii — the  horse . 

3.  Nouns  before  which  the  word  "ta"  can  be  used,  are 
of  the  feminine  gender;  as,  ta  matka — the  mother,  ta  woda 
— the  water,  ta  sarna — the  deer. 

4.  Nouns  before  which  the  word  "to"  can  be  used,  are  of 
the  neuter  ^gender;    as,  to  dziecko — the    child,    to  imie, — the 
name,  to  krzeslo — the  chair. 

5.  The  words,  ten,  ta,  to,  do  not  correspond  to  the  Eng- 
lish definite  article;  they  serve  to  indicate  only  the  gender 
of  nouns. 

6.  Generally  speaking,    most    nouns    ending    in  a  con- 
sonant are  masculine,  those  ending  in  the  vowel  "a",  fem- 
inine, and  those  ending  in  the  vowel  "o",  neuter. 

7.  There  are  two  Numbers,  the  singular  and  the  plural. 
Formerly  there  was  a  dual  number  (denoting  two  objects); 
at  present  it  is  used  only  with  the  three  nouns,  oko — eye, 
ucho — ear,  and  rejka — hand. 

8.  There  are  seven  Cases,  the  nominative,  the  genitive, 
the   dative,  the   accusative,  the  vocative,  the  instrumental, 
and  the  locative. 

9.  Answers  the  question — 

1.  Nom.  Who  or  what? 

2.  Gen.  Whose  or  whereof? 

3.  Dat.  To  or  for  whom  or  what? 

4.  Accus.  Whom  or  what? 

5.  Voc.  (Case  of  the  person  addressed.) 

6.  Instr.  With  whom  or  what?     (The  case  denoting  as- 

sociation with.) 

7.  Loc.  Where?  (Used  with  the  prepositions  in,  about, 

after,  on,  by.) 

10.  Besides    the    above    questions,    certain    prepositions 
serve  to  indicate  what  case  is  used,  or  is  to  be  used. 


11.  There  are  three  Declensions: 

1.  The  declension  of  masculine  nouns. 

2.  The  declension  of  feminine  nouns. 

3.  The  declension  of  neuter  nouns. 

12.  THE  MASCULINE  DECLENSION. 

This  declension  includes  nouns  of  the  masculine  gender 
which  end  in  a  consonant;  as,  wol — an  ox,  plot — a  fence, 
krol — a  king,  piec — a  stove,  Amerykanin — an  American,  and 
diminutives  ending  in  "o;"  as,  Jozio — Joey,  Franio — Frankie. 

I. 

13.  Masculnie  nouns  ending  in  a  hard  consonant  (t,  d, 
s,  z,  k,  g,  p,  b,  f,  n,  m,  1,  r,  ch,  h)  are  declined  as  follows:

THE  ADVERB. 

107.  The    adverb  is  used  to  modify    the    meaning    of  a 
vorb,  an  adjective  or  another  adverb. 

108.  Most  adverbs  are  formed  from  adjectives,  but  there 
are  many  formed  also  from  nouns,  verbs,  prepositions  and 
numerals;   as,   ranek    (noun) — morning,   rankiena    (adv.) — in 
the  morning,    widziec   (vb.) — to  see,    widocznie   (adv.) — ev- 
idently, co   (pronoun) — what,    czemu    (adv.) — why?,    dobry

jednakowo — in  one  way,  in  the  same  manner,  za  tern  (prep, 
and  pro.) — after  that,  zatem  (adv.) — consequently.

ives. 

110.  Wolny  (adj.) — slow,  wolniejszy — slower,  najwolniej.

biegle  (adv.)  skillfully — bieglej — najbieglej. 

111.  The  Positive  Degree  of  the  adverb  is  formed  from 
the  adjective  by  subsituting  the  ending  "o"  or  "e"  for  the 
adjective  ending  "y"  or  "i". 

112.  The  Comparative  Degree  is  formed  from  the  pos- 
itive by  adding  the  consonant  "j"  to  adverbs  ending  in  "e"; 
by  changing  the  final  o  to  e  and  adding  "j".    For  the  sake 
of  euphony  certain  consonants  before  the  ending  "ej"  become 
softened;  as,  glosno,  glosniej — slodko  (slodkiej),  slodziej. 

113.  The  Superlative  Degree  is  formed  by  prefixing  the 
syllable  "naj"  to  the  comparative  degree. 

THE  PREPOSITION. 

114.  Prepositions  are  used  with  the  genetive,  dative,  ac- 
cusative, instrumental,  and  locative  cases.  Some  prepositions 
are  used  with    only    one  of  these    cases,    others  with    two, 
others  with  three. 

115.  The  prepositions  u — at;  od — from;  do— to;  dla — for; 
bez — without;  take  only  the  genetive. 

116.  Ku  (k) — towards,  takes  only  the  dative. 

117.  Przez — through,  across,  during,  takes  only  the  ac- 
cusative . 

118.  Przy — at,  near,  by,  about,  takes  only  the  locative.

on,  pod — under,  of,  take  the  accusative  and  instrumental. 

120.  W — in;  o — about,  by,  at,  of;  na — on;  po — according, 
up  to,  in,  through,  after,  over,  take  the  accusative  and  the 
locative . 

121.  Mimo — in  spite  of,  notwithstanding,  near,  takes  the 
genetive  and  accusative. 

122.  Z  (ze) — of,  from,  out  of,  native  of,  takes  the  gen- 
etive and  instrumental. 

123.  Za — under,  in,  in time,  after,  behind,  for,  in- 
stead of,  in  place  of,  out  of,  outside,  by,  takes  the  genetive, 
accusative  and  instrumental.

THE  VERB. 

141.  The  Polish  verb  has  two  Voices,    the  active,    and 
passive . 

142.  There  are  four  Modes,    the  indicative,    imperative, 
infinitive,  and  conditional.  To  them  are  added,  in  the  con- 
jugation of  the  verb,  the  participles. 

143.  There  are  four  Tenses,  the  present,  past,  past  per- 
fect and  the  future.    The  past  perfect  is  rare  and  unimport- 
ant in  Polish  and  may  usually  be  replaced  by  the  past. 

144.  Many  verbs  have  different  forms  in  the  same  tense 
differing  in  meaning.  There  is  a  form  for  completed  action 
— action  finished  at  once;  as,  sia.sc  (to  sit  down), —  for  in- 
completed  action — action  not  yet  finished  or  still  continuing 
or  progressing;  as,  siadac  (to  be  in  the  act  of  sitting) — and 
for  frequentative  action — action  taking  place  often;  as,  sia- 
dywac  (to  be  in  the  habit  of  sitting). 

145.  The  indicative  mode  is  the  only  one  which  contains 
all  the  tenses. 

146.  The  conditional  mode   has  two  tenses,   the  present 
— denoting  an  action  which  may  take  place  in  the  near  or 
far  future, — and  the  past — denoting  a  supposed  action  in  past 
time. 

147.  The  imperative  mode  is  not  conjugated,  but  like  the 
other  modes  it  may  denote  completed,  incomplete  or  frequen- 
tative action;  as,  pisz  (write  now  and  continue  writing),  pi- 
suj  (write  sometimes  or  often),    napisz    (write    and   finish 
writing). 

148.  There  are  two  forms  of  the  participle,  the  declin- 
able, and  indeclinable.  The  declinable  is  declined  for  num- 
ber, gender,  and  case. 

149.  There  are  present,  past,  and  future  participles. 

150.  There  are  three  Persons. 

151.  There  are  two  Numbers,    as  in  nouns.     In    some 
cases  the  plural  has  two  forms,  the  personal  and  the  imper- 
sonal . 

152.  The  Stem  of  a  verb  is  its  fundamental  part,  from 
which  its  various  tenses  are  formed.     The  stem  of  kochac 
(to  love)  is  kocha,  of  slyszec  (to  hear),  slyszy,  of  gasic  (to 
quench),  gasi,  of  krajac  (to  cut),  kraje. 

152.    There  are  three  Conjugations. 


—  93  — 

153.  Verbs  whose  stems  in  the  3d  pers.  sing,  end  in  "a", 
belong  to  the  First  Conjugation;  as,  znam  (to  know),  stem 
zna,  miec  (to  have),  stem  ma. 

154.  Verbs  whose  stems  in  the  3d  pers.  sing,  end  in  "y" 
or  "i",  belong  to  the  Second  Conjugation;     as,  slyszec(  to 
hear),  stem  siyszy,  gasic  (to  extinguish),  stem  gasi. 

155.  Verbs  whose  stems  in  the  3d  pers.  sing,  end  in  "e", 
belong  to  the  Third  Conjugation;  as,  myc  (to  wash),  stem 
myje,  pisac  (to  write),  stem  pisze.

165.    The  personal  endings  for  the  verb  "bye" — to  be,  and 

all  other  Polish  verbs  are  as  follows: 


—  95  — 

Singular.  Plural. 

1.  — m  1.  — my 

2.  — sz,  — s  2.  — cie 

3.  — ( — t,  extinct,  found  on-      3.  — n  (primitive  — nt) 

ly  in  word  "jest")  which  after  the  dropping     Of. 

of  the  t,  and  combining 
with  the  preceding  vowel, 
became  the  nasal  "a," 

166.  These  endings  are  added  direct" y    to  the    stem  or 
with  the  help  of  certain  vowels;  as,  by! — e — m  —  bylem, — I 
was. 

167.  Since  the  forms  bylem,  byles,  etc.,  are  compound, 
their  endings  can  be  separated  from  them  and  added  to  the 
preceding    word;    as,    "gdy  bylem"    (when  I  was)    can    be 
changed  to  "gdym  by!".  My  bylismy  =  mysmy  byli,  etc.  etc.

CONCERNING  FAMILY  NAMES. 

232.  In  Polish  it  is  possible  to  tell  by  the  form  of  the 
family  name  whether  it  is  applied  to  a  man,  a  married  woman 
or  one  unmarried.   The  feminine  forms  of  the  name  are  al- 
ways derived  from  that  of  the  masculine,  according  to  the 
following  rules: 

233.  When  the  masculine  name  ends  in  the  syllable  "ski" 
or  "cki"  the  feminine  forms  terminate  in  the  syllable  "ska" 
or  "cka". 

(Mr.)  Zaleski  (Mrs.)  Zaleska  (Miss)  Zaleska 

Dembicki  Dembicka  Dembicka 

etc .  etc .  etc . 

234.  When  the  masculine  form  ends  in  any  other  letter 
or  syllable  (but  not  in  g  or  a  syllable  beginning  with  g),  than 
"ski",  the  feminine  endings  are  as  follows: 

(Mr.)  Mackiewicz  (Mrs.)  Mackiewiczowa 

( Miss )   Mackiewiczowna

Fertig  Fertigowa  Fertizanka 

etc.  etc .  etc .

It  is  used  immediately  before  the  surname,  but  it  may  also 
be  employed  either  before  a  baptismal  name  alone  or  a  bap- 
tismal name  together  with  a  surname:  e.  g.  Pan  Zaleski,  Pan 
Jan,   Pan  Jan  Zaleski.    Tak,   Panic  =  Yes,   sir.      Czy  Pan 
idzie?  —  Are  you  going,  sir?

I  believe  you  could.  A 
great  many  other 
people  have  come 
here  for  a  similar 
book. 

As  far  as  we  know 
there  is  no  good 
book  of  that  sort  in 
the  market. 


A  book  of  that  kind 
will  soon  be  pub- 
lished. 

Here  it  is.  You  will 
find  it  very  prac- 
tical. 

This  book  fills  a  long 
felt  want.  You  must 
know,  there  are 
something  like  3 
million  Poles  in  the 
U.  S.  You'll  find 
them  in  all  walks 
of  life.  In  some 
places  there  are 
whole  Polish  col- 
onies.

A  great  many  of  the 
Poles  do  not  under- 
stand or  speak  Eng_ 
lish.  This  makes  it 
very  hard  for  their 
employers  to  com- 
municate with  them 
properly.  By  means 
of  this  book  it  will 
be  possible  to  give 
them  simple  direc-

work,  and  to  warn 
them  in  respect  to 
danger  and  health.

Don't    you    smoke  ci- 
garettes ? 

No,   I   smoke    cigars, 

and     sometimes     a 

pipe. 
You   shouldn't   smoke 

such  strong  cigars; 

they  will  hurt  you. 


Smoking  is  always 
harmful,  but  I  don't 
think  cigars  are  as 
bad  as  cigarettes, 
because  you  don't 
inhale  the  smoke.

That    is    very  dear. 
Can't     you     do    it 
cheaper  ? 


Well,  one  must  take 
into  account  that 
the  soap,  blueing, 
starch,  washing 
soda,  and  coal  or 
gas  cost  money. 

Do  you  charge  any- 
thing    extra    for 
mending  ? 

Very  little. 

Then  mend  the  shirts, 
sew  on  the  buttons, 
and  darn  the  stock- 
ings. 


Don't  use  any  chem- 
icals like  chloride  of 
lime .      They     spoil 
the  clothes. 


Please  iron  the  shirt,
